LISTEN: ELLA MAI RELEASES SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM

After a year of unbelievable rocket propelled success, the songstress delivers the self-titled LP lead by the singles “Boo’d Up” and “Trip.” The 16-track set is executive produced by her label boss Mustard, who signed Mai in 2016 as the leading lady of his 10 Summers Records. The album includes duets with Chris Brown (“Whatchamacallit”), John Legend (“Everything”), and fellow new female star H.E.R. (“Gut Feeling”). Additionally, the album also features the previously-released bonus track “Naked” and vulnerable “Easy,” which Ella describes as “nothing like I’ve put out before.”

“R&B is not dead. We can make it mainstream again. Clearly, people love it,” Ella told Rolling Stone. VIA
